After their disappointing start to the T20 World Cup, Pakistan defeated New Zealand by three wickets in the first semi-final of the T20 World Cup at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).
The Men in Green were firstly defeated by their arch-rivals India and then by Zimbabwe in the group stage match of the super-12 round.

Pakistan, led by Babar Azam, overcame the odds and won their last three group-stage matches by defeating Netherlands, South Africa, and Bangladesh to reach the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup.
New Zealand batters struggled to give Pakistan a big chase, but captain Kane Williamson maintained his position and gave a defendable target of 153 runs in their innings.
Babar and Rizwan started the innings furiously, and both the openers scored 50 runs each and created a partnership of 100-runs to make Pakistan chase down this target and reach their third finals of the T20 World Cup.
Pakistan will meet either England or India -– who play on Thursday in Adelaide -- in the November 13 decider at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Cricketers, Athletes, and fans celebrate Pakistan's win in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup.
